I alternate between the two. I actually put the Dymondwood scales on my pro the other day and now have the best of both worlds....Did anyone notice that the blade on the avid has a slight recurve on it, at least mind does. It's a newer one and according to the Born on date symbol it was made in 2012 and my Pros were 2010 ans 2012 but the blade is just flat on the bottom, I like the recurve a little more.
